Fertiberia to contest the second Copa del Rey round against Zamora

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto will face BM Zamora Rutas del Vino tomorrow to progress through the second round of the Copa del Rey. The away match will begin at 20:00 and can be followed via streaming from the Royal Spanish Handball Federation. Nogués’s side, currently bottom of the Asobal table after a league start full of absences and high-quality opponents, believe this match could change their momentum, as it is another competition and could help set the league campaign on the right course.

“It is a match in another competition that can help us clear our heads from the league. We still have many injured players, and we are in a week of trying to get everyone back so that we can be in good shape for the derby against Benidorm. Even so, we have to go to Zamora and compete at the highest level to win the match and progress to the next round. We are a team from a higher division; this tie may not come at the best time, but we have to go there, compete and keep ourselves alive in this competition”, said red-and-white coach Vicent Nogués.

Regarding the absences, Nogués said that “we have both pivots, Pozzer and Marcos Dorado, injured, and we still do not know when we will be able to get them back. David is much better, while the other players are carrying strains and knocks due to the overload of matches they have played, but little by little we are getting them back and they may be at 100% for the match against Benidorm”
